Shown in Figure 3 is a kind of method 300 and system, is used for more accurate definite nutritive value, reduces the waste of food and increases profit based on the waste that reduces, thereby be the larger profits of generation such as all kinds of individual, company, nonprofit organization, profit-making organizations.According to one or more aspects of the present invention, exemplary method 300 usage ratios cutting guiding pieces 100 (Figure 1A) cut into for example Pizza the piece of about formed objects.With reference to Figure 1A-1D and Fig. 2 the method is described.These embodiment have carried out enough detailed explanation, so that those skilled in the art can put into practice this invention, and be understandable that these embodiment can carry out combination or use other embodiment, also can change the present invention and do not break away from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
Exemplary method 300 advantageously can be used in conjunction with Pizza; Yet the method is not limited to Pizza, also can be used for cake, group and other food item that is fit to.Method 300 starts from 302, wherein 304, individual/Pizza sales promotion person, for example Pizza storekeeper, Pizza special permission general manager, approach tissue with for example " Slice Pizza " plan for the collecting of the fund person, wherein Pizza sales promotion person's business is the equidimension section of purchase and the Pizza of reselling.
In step 306, Pizza sales promotion person/sell seller/franchisor, for example, can be near local private school, with the purpose of cooperating with Food Service Manager.In step 306, the Pizza sales promotion person determine the Food Service Manager whether had Pizza supplier and if the words key to determine there is what problem between Food Service Manager and the current Pizza supplier.If in step 306, this individual school is current to have Pizza supplier, then sales promotion person/sell seller/special permission should tell Food Service Manager or tissue about being used for " equidimension Pizza section plan " a large amount of benefits (ESPSP) of collecting of the fund person, lunch program etc., such as the profit that increases, to the better understanding of nutrition etc.
Method 300 proceeds to 308, and wherein the Pizza sales promotion person has determined whether Pizza part (portion) problem.Even the Food Service Manager says that the Pizza sales promotion person illustrates ratio cutting guiding piece 100 and with it the benefit that reduces food waste that causes profit to increase is discussed also is main points not about the problem of portion size.If the Food Service Manager does not know the profit number, then should tell them the profit potential about this plan.If it is not how many profits that the Food Service Manager sells for Pizza does not have concept, surprised.Next be based on four diameters and be 14 feet, cutting and be the exemplary profit analysis of 8 Pizza equating; But the Pizza of different-diameter all can be considered at this with the section of different numbers.
For example, this example shows the profit risk by using section to sell Pizza to the student on Friday.Be profit maximization, the section that Pizza is cut into about equal sizes is very important.Can know that the common no one of less section in the Pizza group buys and bad avoiding, thereby cause the waste of food, thereby owing to these less sheets can not be sold and have to lose and reduced profit.
Method 300 proceeds to 310, and wherein, the Pizza sales promotion person determines whether the profit that the Food Service Manager sells Pizza is satisfied with.If the Food Service Manager is satisfied, then ask the Pizza business 312 sales promotion persons to the Food Service Manager.
If sell unsuccessful, the sales promotion person should be on the basis in rule in the situation of not making sale (on a regular basis) follow-up Food Service Manager to reach business.
" Slice Pizza " plan major advantage be nutrient research show many food popular of eating in the U.S. all be wedge shape (for example, Pizza, cake and group), and the quantity of the saturated fat that these food effect consume and sugar, and relevant with the health status that regresses.Therefore, in food consumption investigation the wedge shape size of food of report need as much as possible accurately (referring to, the magazine Journal of U.S.'s diet association of the American Dietetic Association for example, on March 14th, 2006).Yet, measure the common inaccuracy of standard technique of wedge shape food portion size and therefore method 300 discussed herein be used for eliminating this problem.People only need to look at that how important and therefore determine nutrition content, heat etc. the plan of the struggle of Michele Obama and children obesity is just known can the correct measurement portion size be.
Method 400 as shown in Figure 4 and system are used for promoting the profit that " Slice Pizza " sold to drive special permission cabinet booth (concession stand).Also be that many special permission cabinet booths are to have student's father and mother aspiration to take time to manage if not the overwhelming majority.How many Pizzas they often do not know to order, what is to sell the best price point of Pizza section and how much is paid for pizza.Method 400 starts from 402 and 404, and the Pizza sales promotion person approaches special permission cabinet booth manager/father and mother, and the consideration fund person of collectting.The policymaker is not the field personnel of special permission cabinet booth usually.Special permission cabinet booth sold as business account and with the policymaker discuss about ordering how many Pizzas and how many profits each Pizza can produce.The Pizza section can become the most profitable a kind of article that special permission cabinet booth is sold.If do suitably by sales promotion person's business, the fund person of collectting does not need to worry about making Pizza, cutting Pizza, selects Pizza, waste or residual, but policymaker/special permission manager can be absorbed in cash flow and profit.
